research Dupilumab for prurigo nodularis: real-world outcomes up to 104 weeks from the Dupilumab Italian Prurigo Nodularis (DUPItaPN) study
The Dupilumab Italian Prurigo Nodularis (DUPItaPN) study evaluated the long-term effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in 543 adults with prurigo nodularis (PN) over 104 weeks. The study found that dupilumab significantly improved symptoms, with the mean Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) score decreasing from 8.7 to 1.7, and 86.8% of patients achieving a ≥4-point reduction by week 104. Additionally, 81.2% of patients reached an Investigator Global Assessment for PN-Stage (IGA PN-S) of 0/1. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) improved from 17.4 to 2.6. Dupilumab was well tolerated, with only 2.9% discontinuing due to adverse events, and no cancer progression or viral reactivation observed. The study supports dupilumab as a long-term treatment option for moderate-to-severe PN, even in elderly and comorbid patients.
